Jiang Xiaolin left the Jiang family's courtyard with brisk steps. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Xiao Lin ......"
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Wen, the lobby brother who was approaching her.
Jiang Wen's expression was gloomy, and his face was full of apology. He is honest, but not stupid. It's not that he doesn't know what his parents think, what his brother thinks. He disagreed, but he couldn't sway their thoughts.
Jiang Wen walked up to Jiang Xiaolin and stammered to her, "Sister Xiaolin, congratulations on your admission to university...... Sorry ......"
Jiang Xiaolin looked at him and smiled, shaking her head: "What do you do ......when you tell me I'm sorry?"
Jiang Wen wanted to speak and stopped, he just wanted to apologize to her for his family. Although Jiang Xiaolin was not substantially harmed, and his parents' intentions did not succeed, he still felt sorry for this sister who had lost her parents.
He lowered his head and took out a wad of money from his pocket, the money was very scattered, one dime and two dimes, more one and two cents, and it looked like five or six dollars.
"Xiaolin, I know you need money to go to college, this is ...... It's not much, but you can use it. ”
Jiang Xiaolin looked down at the pile of change and shook her head slowly.
"Brother, thank you, but I can't ask for it, my money for school is enough, don't worry. ”
Seeing that she refused to accept it, Jiang Wen was a little anxious: "You take it...... You can buy something to eat......
He stretched out his hand and shoved the money into Jiang Xiaolin's hand.
Jiang Xiaolin hurriedly put her hands behind her back, jumped back a few steps backwards, and shook her head with a smile.
"I really don't need to, big brother, don't worry about me. ”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and waved her hand, and turned to leave.
Until she walked into the Zhou family's camp, Jiang Xiaolin's good mood had not yet dissipated.
There is a long road ahead, but now she is full of hope and motivation. Along the winding path of the village, she strode towards her uncle's house.
Passing by the big field, there are stacks of wheat standing in the vast open space, full of them, crowded and crowded, and it seems that people can't help but sigh the joy of the harvest.
Jiang Xiaolin walked and walked, and suddenly found that there were two little girls hidden in the middle of the two wheat stacks, one was crying, and the other was comforting softly. She didn't want to be nosy, but one of them looked familiar.
"Apple?"
When Jiang Xiaolin saw her cousin, she hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth to shout.
The two little girls were startled, Zhou Ping quickly stood up, and the other crying little girl also quickly wiped her face and stood up after her.
"Cousin, you're back. ”
Zhou Ping was very happy to see Jiang Xiaolin, she had heard from her father that her cousin would come back to live soon, and she had been looking forward to it.
"Well, it's back. Jiang Xiaolin was also happy, but her eyes still glanced at the little girl beside Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping also noticed it, and hurriedly introduced the two to each other: "Cousin, this is my former classmate, Yu Ying." Yingzi, this is my cousin Jiang Xiaolin, who originally lived in Bazhuang Village. ”
"Sister Xiaolin. Yu Ying hurriedly greeted and was very polite. Her nose was still a little red, and there was still a nasal voice in her voice, which looked pitiful. Yu Ying knew that Zhou Ping's cousin was a well-known college student in the village recently, and looked at Jiang Xiaolin's gaze with a slight admiration.
"Sister Yu Ying. ”
Jiang Xiaolin also nodded and greeted the other party.
"Sister Xiaolin, you can just call me Yingzi. ”
"Good. Jiang Xiaolin was also not polite: "Yingzi, Pingping, you two, what are you doing sitting here?"
The two little girls were speechless and looked at each other.
It was Zhou Ping who spoke first: "No...... It's nothing, we bumped into each other, let's chat, it's time to go home now, cousin, let's go together. ”
She also secretly glanced at Yu Ying and said goodbye to her: "Next time, talk about Yingzi, let's go first." ”
Zhou Ping took Jiang Xiaolin's arm and pulled her home. Jiang Xiaolin looked at the two little girls with secrets and felt a little funny, so she didn't say anything, waved her hand to Yu Ying, and followed Zhou Ping home cooperatively.
After walking a long way, Zhou Ping whispered to Jiang Xiaolin: "I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't mean not to tell you, because it's Yingzi's family's business......"
"It's nothing, you're not right if you don't say it's right. I just asked casually, I'm afraid that you will be bullied, isn't it. Other people's private affairs are told to you because they trust you, and you don't have to tell me. ”
Jiang Xiaolin didn't take anything to heart. But Zhou Ping thought in her heart that she really should talk to her cousin about this matter, but she had to ask Yu Ying's consent first......
When the two of them returned to Zhou's house, naturally the family laughed and laughed without mentioning it.
"Eiko, my cousin is a college student, why don't we ask my cousin about your business, and ask her to give her an idea too?"
Zhou Ping, like Yu Ying, is sixteen years old and has just graduated from junior high school. The two have been classmates since they were children, and they grew up hand in hand, and their relationship is naturally very good.
Few girls in the village continue their studies after graduating from junior high school, and it is even rarer for Jiang Xiaolin to go to high school and be admitted to university. After Zhou Ping and Yu Ying graduated from junior high school, it is natural that they have to go home to take care of housework, and they can wait for two years to say that they are going to get married, or they are old, and it is difficult to talk about family affairs.
Zhou Ping doesn't care, although she has a college cousin, but she doesn't have the heart to follow suit. What's more, she has a younger brother at home, and the whole family hopes that her younger brother can go on and go to university.
But Yu Ying is the youngest in the family, and she is the only girl, and the three older brothers above have been favored since childhood. She loved going to school and had good grades, and of course she wanted to continue her education, and even dreamed of becoming a college student.
When she offered to continue high school, her family gave a different opinion.
Her eldest brother and third brother were very supportive, and the eldest brother even wrote to her from the barracks to tell her that as long as she was really willing to study, he would provide her with college.
Her second brother didn't have any opinions, just muttered a few words about wasting money, and no one did anything at home.
But her parents poured cold water on her.
In this era, there was no expansion of enrollment, and the acceptance rate of the college entrance examination was very low, so it was called "thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge", but it is not an exaggeration at all.
Yu Ying's parents felt that their daughter was not fully sure of being admitted to university, so they did not want her to waste three years of time and tuition. In addition, some time ago, the marriage of Yu Zhenye, the boss of the Yu family, was yellow, which made Yu's mother feel that it was better for girls to study and talk about a marriage well, and it would be beneficial to marry a good family while she was young.
Without the support of her parents, Yu Ying was very sad, and she knew that she had little hope of continuing to go to high school.
Another reason is that the little girl does not have enough confidence in herself. Thinking that she would likely fail in the college entrance examination in three years, she didn't dare to insist on going to high school.
On the one hand, there is a distant dream, and on the other hand, there is the ruggedness of reality, so ...... The little girl was so entangled that the pear blossoms brought rain, and when she confided in her best friend, she happened to be met by Jiang Xiaolin.
After crying that day, Yu Ying's emotions eased a little, and she felt that she could accept the fact that she couldn't go to school. Who knows, Zhou Ping came to her house again today and asked her if she wanted to ask Jiang Xiaolin's opinion.
Yu Ying suddenly felt that no matter whether Jiang Xiaolin could give her a useful suggestion or not, she would be very happy if she could become friends with her. Although her previous sister-in-law was also a college student, the other party's attitude has always been arrogant, and she is a few years older, so she always feels that she can't communicate with that person.
Jiang Xiaolin's words are different, she is only two or three years older than herself, and she is Pingping's cousin and is a friend...... It shouldn't be difficult.
